Biography
Joe James was an American racing driver. He was born on 23 May 1925 in Saucier, Mississippi. His only link to the Formula One World Championship was the Indianapolis 500, which counted towards the drivers' title from 1950 to 1960. He started the 1951 race in a Watson and the 1952 race in a Kurtis Kraft, scoring no championship points in either.
James died on 5 November 1952 during a Champ Car race at San Jose Speedway. He was inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 1997, and Salem Speedway honoured him, together with Pat O'Connor, with an annual title event.
